Texas Football: 3 Parker Braun 2020 NFL Draft landing spots

1. Tennessee Titans

A team that is going to be less needy in general in the trenches throughout the 2020 NFL Draft, but could do their best to be efficient on the undrafted free agent market is the Tennessee Titans. The Cinderella story of the playoffs last season do need to do their best to build around their faces of the franchises with quarterback Ryan Tannehill and running back Derrick Henry.

The Titans are starting to invest a lot into the combination of Tannehill and Henry, no matter how flawed the logic was of signing the former to a massive contract earlier in the offseason. Losing either to injury or keeping them under constant pressure due to having poor offensive line play makes no sense at this point.

Picking up a low-risk option at guard like Braun makes sense for the Titans since he could extend their depth chart to three deep at either of the two spots. He’s not going to beat out Rodger Saffold or Nate Davis for either of the two starting guard spots out of the gates. And he likely wouldn’t assume that role at any point during his NFL career.

The Titans were rather lucky with avoiding a costly string of injuries down the stretch last season, especially on the offensive side of the ball. If that luck is to run out anytime soon, they need a contingency plan. Draft well and continue to build a solid roster throughout the rest of the offseason, and they will have accomplished their mission to keep momentum on their side beyond a magical 2019 playoff run.
